Does anyone know if the Shimano MF-TZ20 Tourney Freewheel (14-28T 6 Speed) is compatible with this wheel? I am looking to swap new 27x1 1/4 wheels on a Raleigh Pursuit I picked up for $15 and it still has the original tires on it and thought it best to...

If you are asking if the Shimano 6-speed freewheel will mount onto this wheel, the answer is yes. Fitting the wheel and freewheel assembly into the Raleigh Pursuit frame is another matter, but easily remedied if it does not fit. The Pursuit frame is spaced for a 5-speed freewheel on probably a Sturmey-Archer wheel. If this is a bit tight (allow 5mm clearance between smallest cog and chain-stay) it can easily be spread to fit.

Yeah, it's a standard Shimano mount. If your wheel takes a Shimano-style cassette it will fit. May not fit some older style free wheels.

Yes. I just did it yesterday. Compared to my 26" MTB it cannot get the speed as gear 7 sets the limit. But you mention leasure and that is fine. My only complaint after the 20 miles is the saddle. I like hard saddles but that one is quite uncomfortable. I like the selle Italia styles and might just replace it.

I have the ultegra short derailer and switched from a 11-28 tiagra cassette to the 12-30 ultegra casette. It maxes out the derailer but has worked great for the Pittsburgh hills. Just completed the DC to PGH ride with that setup.

It is good to go out of the box. Double check your wheels for true - they will last longer if your get them right in the beginning. Install the freehub cassette and you are on your way. Freewheels spin on / feehub cassettes stack on. Freehubs will be limited to certain sizes, whereas you can put any freewheel on a typical freewheel configured wheel hub. It is best to match up visually what your free hub looks like at least if not by manufacturer type. Assuming you have the same chain compatibility since your are going with a whole new wheel if your go from a 7 speed to a 7speed (apples t apples) you will find everything will match up ok. Not all freehubs are built the same and some mount differently on different wheels. You are buying both wheel and freehub so you won't have to worry about compatibility issues such as when you order a replacement freehub for a wheel you are trying to repair.

What I have read indicate a 700c and 29er have the same rim diameter. I have owned to sets of WTB FX23 29ers. I probably won't buy a third. Lots of loose spokes this time around. Also, the bearing hubs are not durable. The hubs get loose after a couple of months of relatively low impact riding.

Yes, the wheel was trued when arrived. Yes, that freewheel will fit. Depending on the width of your rear triangle, you may have to add a spacer or two.

I think you should take your bike to a local bike shop. The bicycle mechanic can answer this question by looking at the way your gears are placed on the bike.This Shimano freewheel should replace a freewheel of the same number of gears. The mechanic will be familiar with this freewheel and can give you a clear answer.

I run Michelin Commanders on my '02 Road king, front and back, on tubeless mag rims and love them. Bike handles great and get upwards of 10,000 miles on the rear and better than twice that on the front.

Its discontinued? Oh man! I need back wheels my front is fine. I am same boat as you. If I would have known I never would have purchased and its such a shame cause its a great ride my kids love it. If you found anyone or any sites willing to help in replacing tires let me know please. I would greatly apprecaite it. I was thinking of taking the wheels to a bike shop see if they can fix it if all else fails...

It is my understanding that this kit is compatible with any modern, (1990 ish- present day) shimano freewheel hub. I have used this kit several times without issue. Thus far, the number of spacers provided have been enough, often with a spacer or two left over

If you have Tourney shifters with a 7 speeds rear derailer and 3 speed front derailer you should be fine. The most difficult part is fine tuning the cable length nuts to get the shifters just right.

Dear Juice: There are two systems. One is the older-style freewheel where the cog unit goes screwed on the hub of the rear wheel. This Shimano Tourney is one of those screw-on cogs. The newer system is where the cog unit -called a cassette- goes pushed and then locked on a splined extension of the hub. Both systems are not compatible. My advise is get a bike mechanic or a friend who knows the difference between the two systems have a look at your bike and tell you which system it has before you spend the money :-) Hope this helps, Andy :-)

I bought these for my 1978 Roger Decoster and they are great. The only problem is the bmx's from the 80s have different width in the forks and rear frame. Newer Bmx's have wider hubs, so be careful when you buy rims online. I bought some other Diamond Back rims that wouldn't fit my DeCoster and had to return them for these ones.

There are a couple of posibilities here. If you are trying to use your own freewheel, then it is possible that it is binding on the really big axle in this wheel assembly. Modern Shimano freewheels work, but I know that I have some freewheel tools that are smaller in diameter than the axle is. It depends on what brand of freewheel you have. If you are using the freewheel that came with the wheel, then it is quite likely a bad freewheel. I didn't use the freewheel that came on mine, but I later tried to use it on another bicycle. Two of the six gears quickly failed so that they spin freely in both directions. My advice is to use your old freewheel if you can. The one that came with the wheel is low quality.
